Deployment guide

This section provides a step-by-step process for creating a Byzantine Vault. Byzantine offers both an SDK and a Solidity script to simplify vault creation and deployment.

Types of Byzantine Vaults

• Single Protocol Vaults

  • EigenLayer Vault

    • Eigen ERC20 Vault

    • Eigen Native Vault

  • Symbiotic Vault

    • Sym ERC20 Vault

    • Sym Native Vault (coming soon)

  • Cross Protocol Vaults

    • Eigen and Sym ERC20 Vault

Configuration guide

To make sure you choose the right configuration, we invite you to define beforehand some characteristics you want your vault to have.

Here is a guide to choose the configuration of vault that matches your needs.

Vault selection guide

1. Choose your underlying

There exist 2 major families of vaults, depending on their underlying :

• Single Protocol Vaults, that sit on top of a single restaking protocol.
• Cross Protocol Vaults, that aggregate several restaking protocols in a single place.

2. Native or not?

• In a Native vault, the staker will be able to deposit native ETH, that will be first staked on the Beacon Chain, and then restaked on a restaking protocol to secure AVSs or SSNs.

• In an ERC-20 vault, a staker can deposit any ERC-20 token, including LSTs, Bitcoin derivatives, etc that is going to be restaked.

As you may have figured out, some vault types are not available yet, and will be released in upcoming versions.

3. Define your vault's settings

Below is a summary table indicating the required parameters for each type of vault.

Type of Vault	ByzVaultParams	NativeByzVaultParams	EigenParams	EigenPodParams	SymbioticParams
Eigen ERC20 Vault	✅	❌	✅	❌	❌
Eigen Native Vault	✅	✅	✅	✅	❌
Sym ERC20 Vault	✅	❌	❌	❌	✅
Sym Native Vault	✅	✅	❌	❌	✅
Eigen Layer / Symbiotic ERC20 Vault	✅	❌	✅	❌	✅

Once you have chosen which vault suits you best and which parameters are expected, you will find a detailed Creation Walkthrough in the dedicated sub-section.

During the process, you will have to set a series of parameters, specific to the vault, that are described in the following section.

You will also have to attribute different roles to addresses that will be in charge of several curation tasks during vault lifecycle.
